Chapter 259 The Premier League Reignites(1/2)
Chapter 259 Premier League Reignited
Sports media throughout Asia have focused their attention on the Chinese team, which is the only one to have won four games after the first round of the top ten.
Iran and South Korea in Group A both had two wins, one draw and one loss. Like the Japanese team, their results were expected, with occasional overturns.
Compared with the Chinese team, which has won all four games, these three strong Asian teams seem a bit inadequate.
Of course, there is no feeling of being careless within the Chinese national team. After all, their own family knows their own affairs.
In addition to Li Mo, who has always played very well and successfully supported the Chinese team on the offensive end, the Japanese team and the Australian team have many problems, especially the Australian team, which has no shadow of a strong Asian team, and there are also outbreaks
The conflicts within the team were eliminated and the Chinese team succeeded in picking up the slack.
However, the football foundations of both countries are very solid. It only takes a year or two to survive this period of transition between new and old players. Japan and Australia will eventually be able to recover their strength as soon as possible.
But the outside fans don’t care about the conflicts within the team, the lineup changes, or the injuries of the main players. They only know that the Chinese team defeated Japan and Australia in a row and accumulated 12 points in four games.
, we are about to qualify for qualifying.
This is awesome!
The Chinese team is awesome, and Li Mo is even better.
They are stable when playing against weak teams, and are in great shape when playing against strong teams. Of course, this strong team refers specifically to Asia. Compared with the teams Li Mo faced in the Premier League, the "strong teams" in Asia are not that strong.
Already.
But no matter what, Li Mo successfully dragged the Chinese team to the threshold of the World Cup. He was only one step away from getting a ticket to Brazil.
From this point of view, all major sports media in Asia are shocked.
Previously, Li Mo helped the Chinese team successfully break through in the top 20, facing Jordan and Iraq. With the Chinese team's lineup at the time, it was not surprising that they won.
But now Li Mo has dragged the Chinese team to defeat the Japanese team and the Australian team one after another. This proves that in this three-acre land of Asia, superstars play a huge role in improving the strength of a team.
Of course, the premise is that this team is not a third- or fourth-rate team. If Li Mo is an Asan or an Indonesian, then no matter how good he is, he will not be able to drag down other teammates.
The Chinese national team was barely considered a second-tier team in Asia before. After many players on the team landed in the German league, they could be considered a first-tier team, that is, one of the top eight teams in Asia.
Without Li Mo, the current Chinese team should be able to compete for second place in Group B, provided that the Australian team continues to maintain this half-dead state.
If the Australian team adjusts to its form later on, the Chinese team will have a 40-60 chance of facing the Kangaroos head-on.
But now the Chinese team adds Li Mo and directly dominates Group B. If it switches to Group A, it may be the first place in the group. It is as safe as an old dog to abuse a weakling. When playing against a strong team, it is necessary to guard against counterattacks. Anyway, Li
No matter which country's defense line Mo Mo faced, he was really able to conquer the world with one move.
From the bottom of Asia's top class to the top of Asia's actual combat level, there is only one Li Mo in the middle.
Media from other countries have begun to discuss whether this football development route is the most suitable for the Asian Division.
Some players trained in the domestic league + some players who have worked hard in the European league + a small number or a top talent player.
At least the Chinese national team is currently using this model, and everyone has seen the results it has achieved. It’s hard not to be excited.
But while these sports media were still discussing hypothetically, a certain country in West Asia suddenly lit up.
Instead of going to such trouble, wouldn't it be more effective to dig talented players from other countries in the Arab world?
Planning is enough, and money is not a problem. They lack everything, but they don’t lack money!
So a certain Tal Football Association looked at their team's performance in the top ten games and made a painful decision.
I need to talk to my father, the financial backer in China, about the planning.
Paris Saint-Germain has been bought, and Ibrahimovic has also bought it. The money spent is 100 million euros. In comparison, the money spent on poaching some geniuses from other countries to plan it is just a hair on the cow.
.
Maybe not even worth a hair!
As for the Chinese national team, I don’t know how many countries their top ten results have inspired.
After a celebration banquet was held in the hotel on the evening of the 16th, at noon on the 17th, Li Mo still spent his own money to entertain all members of the national team and many leaders in the Chinese football community in Shanghai.
Not just the players, but also the coaching staff.
All the staff who have been busy preparing for the world preliminaries, as well as the seniors who have been cheering for the national team and are quite famous in the industry, all have their share.
This was done by Li Mo's brother-in-law Li Lijun. How could Li Mo know this? He originally planned to treat his teammates and coaches to a meal, but after hearing Li Mo's arrangement, Li Lijun said with a smile that he would come
arrange.
This world preliminaries affects too many aspects. Seeing that success is imminent, it is natural to build relationships with professionals from all parties.
It’s not that the Chinese football circle is full of idle keyboard warriors, nor is it that everyone is a piece of trash who only knows a few blind plans, has a fat head and doesn’t understand anything, and wants to have a hand in everything.
In fact, from the past to the present, and even in the future, there are many people who do practical things in the Chinese football world.
In the past, the older generation of players who came out of the national team, those who engaged in youth training, and those who studied abroad, although not famous, were all hard-working doers.
Although it is said that the root is crooked and it is almost impossible to turn it around manually, these people are still doing their part. Even though they know that they may not be able to change anything in the end, they have no regrets.
General Fan, Xie Hui, Director Xu, Director He Wei, Director Zhang
When industry insiders walked into the banquet hall one after another and gathered around to discuss the current situation of Chinese football happily, Li Mo also understood his uncle's intentions.
It was true that he had not thought carefully before, but taking advantage of this opportunity, he also met many football seniors whom he had only heard of before.
General Fan was a sweet-tempered man. He held Li Mo's hand and vomited all the words that day. He refused to let Li Mo drink, but he himself became very drunk.
In the past, those who wanted to do something practical for Chinese football in China felt aggrieved and uncomfortable, but today they are so happy.
Many players who participated in the 2002 World Cup said frankly that they felt like they were dreaming after getting drunk.
After experiencing the 2006 and 2010 World Cup qualifiers, they were all disappointed. Many people even thought that they would never see the national team enter the World Cup again in their lifetime.
But they didn't expect that in just over a year, Li Mo would drag this new Chinese team to where it is today, which really made them feel gratified and happy.
"If there is a chance in the future, I will go to England or Germany to study. Xiao Li, you will help me introduce it to your club. It doesn't matter what I do, as long as I can learn something."
The drunk Xie Hui put his arms around Li Mo's shoulders and muttered with bright eyes.
This old handsome guy who once went to the Bundesliga 2 to work hard and now leads the youth training echelon in Shanghai has always wanted to travel and study in Europe again.
He takes fame and fortune lightly, and he is straightforward and not too crooked. When he is happy, he pulls Li Mo to express his inner thoughts.
Li Mo has a very good impression of Xie Hui. Not to mention his previous deeds when playing football, Xie Hui's achievements as a coach alone are worthy of Li Mo's efforts to help him.
However, it was a little inconvenient to talk about business now, so the two exchanged contact information and made an appointment to talk in detail later when they have time.
Because he had to fly back to Sheffield in the afternoon, Li Mo chatted with these seniors until about two o'clock in the afternoon, and had to get up and say goodbye.
Third brother Hao Junmin and the others also had to fly back to Germany to prepare for the league, so they happened to make an appointment to go together.
With the blessings of countless people, Li Mo and others went to the airport in a low-key manner. It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon when the fans learned about this.
"Thank you for your hard work, keep working hard, all the players of the national team, keep working hard, our overseas troops!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Li. See you next month!"
"Take care of your body, come on!"
Many fans went to the national team's official account and left messages under Li Mo's scarves.
Next month's game against Jordan will still be at home, and as long as they win another game, the Chinese team will recreate the grand scene of national celebrations in the past.
Ten years of waiting, ten years of suffering.
All the grievances and pain may be completely released after next month's competition.
All Chinese fans sent their blessings to the players of the national team and looked forward to November 14th in anticipation.
At that time, a battle will determine the outcome!

It was another torturous flight. When we returned to Sheffield, it was already early morning in China, but it was still around 7pm in the UK.
Maguire made a light meal for Li Mo in advance, knowing that he would not be able to eat after flying for more than ten hours.
Li Mo washed the dirty clothes in his bag, took a comfortable hot shower, and then plucked up the energy to eat the dinner prepared by Maguire.
In fact, he can report to the club tomorrow afternoon and start training the day after tomorrow, but the league and the Champions League are coming soon. Li Mo doesn't want to delay the team's joint training at this time, so he decided to meet Maguire tomorrow morning.
We go to the club with Stones for normal training.
Anyway, he has the aura of an Iron Man, but he has to stay up a little longer. After getting enough sleep at night, his physical fitness will not be greatly affected.
However, the way he cheered up now greatly touched Stones.
Maguire was okay and had gotten used to it, but Stones was still surprised by Li Mo's "cruelty". He thought Li Mo was too strict with himself.
For a dead kid, this kind of professionalism was simply incredible, and it unknowingly had a huge impact on him.
Finally, it was nine o'clock in the evening, England time. Li Mo gave a few instructions to Maguire and Stones to go to bed early, and then went directly to the room and lay down on the bed.
Fatigue caused his upper and lower eyelids to fight uncontrollably, so Li Mo went to sleep and worked until eight o'clock in the morning the next day.
After sleeping for a full eleven hours, Li Mo felt extremely comfortable from his soul to his body after waking up. It was called a sense of clarity!
Maguire was not called up for England's World Cup qualifying match against Poland, so he rested at home for more than a week.
However, it is not that coach Hodgson thinks that Maguire needs to be examined, but that with enough points in hand, he wants Maguire to rest more and try several other central defenders to choose the most suitable one.
